ON THE PRIESTHOOD IN THE CHURCH

able to God through Jesus Christ.
1Pe 2:9 But ye are a elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his Marvell's light:

ON HOLY MARY–THE SINLESS SECOND EVE
Rom 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

Rom 3:23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

Rom 5:12 Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:--

ev 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

Rev 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

on the CATHOLIC Church

Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Act 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

To make her sinless. Honestly. It's a prior application of the grace purchased at the Cross; the Papal bull dogmatizing the Immaculate Conception says flatly that it's a privilege granted by God "in view of the merits of [Mary's] Son".

Mary didn't make herself sinless; that's not Catholic doctrine.
